Slopes of Keppoch

The southwestern slopes of Monadh na Ceapaich (Keppoch) overlook the north channel of Loch nan Ceall, and beyond, the view stretches to the Small Isles, Eigg and Rum being the ones seen in this photograph. The path round the headland leads across grassy meadow dotted with flag iris, and down the side of the wall seen in the middle of the view, before becoming slightly more difficult to follow in muddy woodland. For kayakers, this is a wonderful bit of coast with innumerable skerries and channels and, at the very top of the tide, the chance to paddle inside Eilean Ighe close to the mainland in crutal clear water only inches deep, inaccessible to any other boats.
